Where in Taylor Swift's Folklore tracklist does “august” appear?

Taylor Swift’s “august” is the eighth track on Folklore.

Its position is notable because August is also the eighth month of the Gregorian calendar. Fans frequently point out this numerical connection when discussing the song’s seasonal identity and its yearly resurgence at the beginning of August.

The track appears after “seven” and before “this is me trying” on the standard album sequence. It is also surrounded by songs that contribute to Folklore’s reflective, storytelling atmosphere. The album’s track order helped create a varied collection of fictional and emotional scenes rather than a straightforward chronological narrative.

The number eight does not mean the song was released in August. Folklore and “august” were officially released on July 24, 2020. The title refers to the story’s late-summer setting, while the track’s placement creates an additional fan-noted connection to the calendar.
